pressure mounts on the british prime minister you get the grilling on palm and so be his ties with disgraced news corp executives we ask you to better fit through the jungle claiming. the last remaining war crimes suspect wanted by the u.n. from the balkans conflict is captured as the air rex's future plane landed border a cottage in a bid to join the e.u. i am. they forced me to run away and now they spit on my face we need to pull myself lebanese soldiers and planes that israel will be getting those who helped fight has well over a decade ago. a

very warm welcome to you this is live from moscow now as the phone hacking scandal in britain continues to unfold on a daily basis and storm clouds gather over prime minister david cameron his close connection to the embattled group at murdoch's a new movie around pirates has even facing some difficult questions and pollin today along with a new mori poll given cameron his lowest popularity rating since comments upon what rumors circulated in the story it's our only my last resort and it takes a look at an aspect of the case for some reason seem so accidental. given by another political scandal erupts another whistleblower diaries sure who was the first former news of the world journalists on the record to allege that phone hacking. was endemic at the paper and then its editor andy colson actively

encouraged it hall was found dead in his house on monday setting the blogosphere into a frenzy of comparisons with the case of jock to david kelly why isn't the sun horror story bigger reminds me of how dr david kelly was dumped are eerily similar tragedies of seymour and be with kelly all this madness toward the end of it can we channel who are that's what i'm thinking something's not right to kelly with the u.n. weapons inspector who first cast doubt on the government's claim that iraq could deploy weapons of mass destruction within forty five minutes it led to scrutiny of tony blair's decision to invade iraq by extraordinary coincidence caylee's body was discovered exactly eight years before that of sean hordes on the eighteenth of july two thousand and three it was british journalist andrew gilligan who david kelly had spoken to to publicize his belief that the forty five minute claim had been

exaggerated gilligan believes there are similarities between kelly and short haul being at the center of one of these storms a terrifying experience i really don't believe either david all sure was murdered because. i simply don't think it would have been in anyone's interest for her to them once they got into the public spotlight anyone with an iota of sense in government would have known that to kill them would just would just amplify the story i think it's similar i think both were under enormous pressure from their roles as whistle blows. and found it difficult to cope with that pressure so one hole with evidence could have been crucial to proving that the news of the world editors supported a culture of listening to private stories because former editor andy kaufman who later became a media director to the current prime minister has always denied the allegations and was destroyed professionally wired news international the journalistic world in london is a very small player. the man was distraught he was well known for drinking too much

taking drugs he was the protest the moralized police a thing called death doesn't appear suspicious and they're looking at suicide dr kelly's death was also recorded as suicide although many including leading doctors and m.p.'s have never accepted that their suspicions of hardly be quelled by the fact that most of reports and other evidence has been classified for seventy years to ten arrests six resignations two convictions and one death that the toll of the phone hacking scandal so far the death of a key whistleblower in this scandal has raised questions but so far only amongst the twitter ossie it's being reported as a horrible and unfortunate coincidence but it's doubtful that if this had happened elsewhere say in russia or in india the british media would be so quick to accept it as a coincidence particularly looked at in the light of the death of david kelly you

read it r.t. loved it. and of course we always like to know what you were thinking about our stories on our website in new what will be the biggest fallout from this u.k. phone hacking scandal was so frightened. of you think it will all end up with rupert murdoch losing his slice of the world's media kate competitors almost a quarter of aussie voters think the u.k.'s cabinet will fall a fifth or c. conventional media using ounce of block is. fourteen percent of you think the biggest outcome will be nothing more than an academy award winning blog past the chaotic. now serbia has fulfilled the final demands of the u.n. war crimes tribunal for the film and you can smell the expirations gordon adage has been arrested after eight years on the run while he's accused of atrocities during croatia's rule for independence from yugoslavia in the early ninety's ranging from

murder to religious persecution it follows the arrest of she was wanted for the civil rights he just had that were key requirements of serbia's to join the e.u. for more insight on the story let's cross live now to dr corbett foreign affairs editor at chronicles my can see many of us are being with us here on r.t. today elf like giving up the war time fugitive president target which may win the praise of the. do you think it comes as as welcome a gesture back at home in serbia. well we've seen. that it should that the reaction of the serbian public was almost uniformly negative because believe. tribunal has a deeply biased to the core of the operation of builtin in the former yugoslavia between the serbs in various other parts it's the second problem is that it is

claimed that this will leave the way for serbia has any membership of the european union is actually far from certain because again with knowledge we've seen several days of. a walled propagandistic claims about seventy it's a siege of syria and search is. on the shoulder on this was immediate session actually anything that serbia will now meet and. additional demands and additional preconditions well let's talk more about those ever lengthening list of preconditions that you refer to that might now be picked by you as you said arthur not his arrest in your mind it's how to solve court and how it's still being at last but now that he's captured and you insinuate anything cept your will be presented with yet more toth forward membership dream if you like will

actually be fulfilled what sort of task they were actually left remaining. well it is really an open secret in brussels worked as euphemistically known. normalization of relations with serbia's neighbors which is the code word for the recognition of course of those independence will top the agenda and in fact only a couple of weeks ago. to belgrade and several german and he's openly talked about this as the scene of one on the condition that at least they themselves will regard as paramount. of serbia succession the second area which is highly problematic and which is really talked about in brussels in an off the record is the first piece employees ation of serbia

northern crummy supposedly in the predominantly muslim region of sound in southwestern serbia given being given over to the greece of autonomy which in turn means that given. what remains after course of ways the coach cannot be certain of its integrity and last but way no means least there is also the issue of . accepting the ever greater you need precision or bosnia herzegovina and actually encouraging the serbs simpson in bosnia in the middle or at dog the president of the bosnian serb republic to accept further reduction. of the republicans subscribe under data so i think that all of these will actually come into play before serbia sees any movement in what they personally believe is

an endless road which will not be crowned a success in a decade at least the top ten have called it say considering what you've just said that very thing if the preconditions that you think. are for it's a can fit is excessive and by no means. will they be easy or necessarily popular if he were chief in light of that why do you think serbia is so keen to still join this blog which itself is actually still struggling to stay afloat and does the e.u. actually need another member in these hard economic times. i wonder if you can really to slow don't think it is limited to this particular. it's not really serving as an entity that is particularly keen to join you it is the true european coalition led by president boris tadic that uses the rhetoric

of e.u. integration well it's an old europe whose ears if you will is a substitute for coherent strategy of getting gold over the economic social and political traces because effectively for over a decade since the fall of slobodan milosevic and in any event there has never been to hear and. the pros and cons of e.u. membership the e.u. mantra has been imposed. controlled media is something that is even beyond discussion and beyond reproach and it is highly regrettable latam decision of crying national importance a government that prides itself on being true western democratic in the form is as actually acted in this region as ideologically. is. real socialism or thirty or forty years ago like

a tout. their favorite foreign affair that circles magazine many thanks for your thoughts. thank you for inviting me. here with r.t. still have you this hour georges which hunt for alleged spy gathers pace has targeted for russia plead guilty local journalist say the suspects but with a pass the senate a clear message to the rest of georgia's. class children treat it as a commodity look at why you feel rushed and sometimes not the white. part of course not as. it's an eleven years since the israeli army withdrew from lebanon however the consequences of the war against hezbollah palestinian reparation organizational still being felt numbers of the south lebanese army who fought on the wrong side their israeli counterparts have a country they got down on

a story. there's only one thing for those national dreams about and that is to return home but home is southern lebanon on stuck here on the other side of the border in northern israel. that's my home five kilometers away eleven years ago for was was one of several thousand christian mini's to flee with the israeli army as it left lebanon for eighteen years the israelis had been fighting the palestine liberation organization and hizbullah on lebanese soil helped by the south lebanon army a militia of christians and jews who controlled the south of the country this old lebanese army has been fired for is the word as the word that is the given fried for so. there was a meeting of interests between them and us but going to mystic pressure in israel over the high losses suffered by the army finally convinced the government to withdraw and it did so quickly. arya epstein was a soldier at the time and says the lebanese soldiers who helped israel were left

behind almost like sitting ducks and. if we as soldiers knew little about a sleeping they for sure knew even less there was some sort of selection the commanders were brought here but i'm sure if you were a driver not much was done for you. some seven thousand some army soldiers crossed into israel those who were left behind will tried jailed and sometimes killed as traitors for was national was one of those who got out alive he'd been working with israeli intelligence helping to recruit lebanese spies i did not want to really hear i want to die fighting with the israeli intelligence almost forced me to call and i was told you know too much but the way they treat me now is a shame they forced me to run away and now they spit on my face six months ago i'm not a lawyer found for my eyes living in a tent on the street he was hardly surviving on a few hundred dollars a month each week and gave him i feel ashamed. in my country dripping not

only the case of four was not but i'm told in people that remain in state in israel . when the state of israel are treating them like. it's a charge the government is aware of although it says it's doing its best to help them by giving cash education and in some cases although not in far as is a home. for them already eleven you. know the thing we don't have we must. it's very unique it's a very unique nobody. never nobody of them. but still that treatment was not enough to stop two thirds of those who came to israel from immigrating elsewhere but i feel betrayed the beast sitting in the special intelligence forces have not given me any

help since i've been here three israeli lebanese border and this used to be known as the good friends but in the last eleven years since the israelis withdrew from lebanon the situation has deteriorated and this is close to a good fence has since become close friends and through its bars israel's forgotten friends seem condemned to fit if a peek at the family they're more than likely never see again policy r.t. on the israel lebanon border. now the story that got some controversy off forum and you can join the discussion all the dot com also you there for your children preparing a. new breastfeeding dolls get a mixed reaction from parents as they hit the shelves and toy stores across europe and the u.s. . the world's biggest country in minutes a unique project on the way in think peter's but it's create a tiny replica of brushing on detail taken that our gallery and our scenes are.

three. three. three. three. three. videos for your media drug free meal gargi. george's latest spy saga has taken another twist to please he says the three journalists charged with spying for russia have now confess they killed but as. a reporter there among some concerns the suspects. into admitting to crimes they didn't commit. and then there were none the last georgian photographer to deny allegations of spying has apparently changed his story he now admits the charges video testimony of your dad allowed this confession of spying for russia was

released by prosecutors to the media but most journalists are skeptical about this latest development for our. old this is very strange and there is in the middle of the night and it isn't there a case has been marked it's no secret and his confession is a serious way to ease or because we have doubts about this whole deal cynical you would give the odds and maintained his innocence ever since he along with three other photojournalists was arrested at the beginning of this month old unfolding president mikheil saakashvili his personal photographer were accused of passing on top secret information to russia's military intelligence or initially insisted they were innocent and then one by one the dog started changing their testimonies eventually three of them incriminated themselves in his pen asure but the tell us they insisted he was not guilty and even went on a hunger strike to provoke this point in fact his lawyer says the photographer

seems to have changed his mind over the space of just ten minutes and that's led to questions over the circumstances under which the photographer seems to have chased the story and managing editor of all in the newspaper dimity crowds it believes these admissions of guilt show the case has been fabricated from a demagogue we live in a totalitarian state power is concentrated in the hands of president saakashvili and if someone goes against him and all of us will end up like this basically this is a message for all of us journalists including me and. members of the media heard the message loud and clear and stage a protest outside the jail break free to talk affairs are being held and preliminary detention human rights activists meanwhile. please don't do system of power in the country i'll google on the new investigators want everyone who can interfere out of the picture so they can lead the way they want to they want the

keys of the photographers to and without any public discussion and that's possible if all the rest to plead guilty in the world and he's seems outrageous to journalists and many ordinary people it's just totally dismissed seemingly endless string of spies scandals georgia. now look at some of it's national headlines around the world are they to the us president barack obama how well can i pass and senate proposal designed to cut the country's huge debts the plan aims to reduce the deficit by about four trillion dollars over the next decade i slashing health spending education and labor programs with only two weeks left to avoid a looming the folds. both parties also discussing raising the federal level is. syria's foreign minister has warned the ambassadors of america and france not to travel outside the capital without permission earlier this month the diplomats were

severely criticized by the government for this wedding the volatile town of home are considered a position stronghold this cons the security forces continue of garlic crackdown on anti-government demonstrations as these ten people were killed on tuesday is fired on a rally in the city of homs. when it comes to starting a family to term and russians also but nothing many of the country's six million infertile couples say that surrogacy offers their only chance of having a child but despite being legal in russia the practice doesn't always end of it as a family. these thirst photos of anton made him an orphaned scene he was ill his genetic parents refused even to hold him and the boy has a rare and incurable genetic disease but. they simply threw him out like an unwanted kitten and picked a healthy one while his healthy twin brother enjoys family life and has no one but hospital staff helping him to survive the boy's surrogate mother also disappeared

soon after the delivery little anton story is just one of the shocking examples of shortcomings in the russian family code that seeks to regulate sarkozy in the country for a group of it is just a way in our modern world the idea of surrogacy is sometimes distorted again even to use to avoid the hardships of pregnancy and to preserve the beauty of a body that turned surrogacy into a business renting out a womb costs from twenty to thirty thousand dollars however often either those who pay in or the surrogate want to admit their involvement in the process the attitude to surrogacy in russia is on big years so many women simply don't want anyone to know their baby is carried by another one out of the many it's easier to resort to personal or not such a small why. how about one scene in public with this there really is no going back to the sides become entangled in a legal and moral not blackmail homes intended parents while surrogate mothers

greatest fear is not getting paid most of them see surrogacy as the only solution to their financial misery if i had a choice i lived at my mom's place nine people in forty six square meter is. zinaida mother of two hope giving both the money would allow her buy an apartment for her large family however hard way through the pregnancy the genetic parents demanded she a board they had shopped around and their backup was bearing twins. so it's not the biological father sprawled out in front of me in an armchair and almost knocked when he was saying don't you understand we need neither you nor the baby and you know this still hopes they'd accept the baby but instead ended up with no sleep and in addition to her family too little and don't these legal details are called comfort the question is whether he will ever want to know who his real parents are and why they treated him as a commodity dairy pushed over r.t.

scale. about a summary of our top stories in just a few minutes right out there let's get a check up on the meeting. hello to you welcome to business r.t. stock markets are letting out a little sigh of relief at least for the moment they welcomed president obama's news of progress on raising america's debt ceiling is meeting with congressional leaders now to discuss a new debt cutting plan and the turn if it could point the way out of the impasse. it does seem that this is kind of what president obama was looking for you know four trillion dollars is a big star however the point where the enormous cuts is that as we think in greece for example is that really big cuts can actually damaged economic growth so much that in fact the government's finances can end up looking even worse and worse and there's a very fine line to be charged between not damaging economic growth and making the

government's finances look good and i think that's a tricky line to go in the long and from the u.s. the key piece of data that unemployment report for june really showed the u.s. economy faltering and i think that is also causing some concern. to the markets now crude is on the rise light sweet is up this hour sixty three cents or ninety eight dollars thirteen cents brant is up for almost a dollar the price increase comes after a strong u.s. data and cutting plan and avoiding technical default move to stock markets now u.s. markets opened mixed and flat after a strong trees a session versus a way of progress with raising the debt ceiling counterbalancing is the u.s. home sales data going down point eight percent in june. european stock markets are still higher in london the sell though the dax has come down slightly just

a notch into the red overnight rally on wall street and earnings from apple course were boosting investor confidence most of the day but now that we've seen this flat opening in the in the states. gains in the europe have also come down in moscow the r.t.s. is our point seven percent by six point three percent another fifteen minutes to go as take a look at some of the main stocks and most blue chips are still on the rise gazprom losing much of its rally before the now just point four percent rise telecom still posting very strong gains on speculation it could be completely sold the pride of birth. state however would still call these three rights polymath so is down two and a half percent after several days of gains of call this edging slightly south. coverage and russia returning to pre-crisis levels despite a positive outlook prime minister putin is urged car makers to increase production to free hundred thousand vehicles a year number of automobiles made in the country has jumped fifty seven percent

year on year the new scheme requiring three hundred thousand production is a very sensible step because it is an attempt to move the market in the right direction what we heard before that was fifteen or twenty manufacturing facilities that were really just assembly units where most of the components were imported and a mere man assembly unit doesn't bring much local work so the government really wanted to bring the production of components into russia that's a great jobs for engine isn't running still a specialist russian and german and with the promise of scale production then it makes sense for components. so broadly it's it's a good set and if the market grows so strong as we expect to get within five years up to about three now puts it into words four million if things go well then then

it all makes sense or i joined business in fifteen minutes that will have the closing figures for wednesday's session on the russian market alice is next with a headline. question is that so much as i can recall right on it comes again today jeff deadline as the deadline for the u.s.

to me greece's debt ceiling looms would appear to be more in on politics in upcoming elections than fixing a crippling hungry for the fall so we've got it first hand the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers on the. wealthy british science. that's not on the cutting. edge of. markets why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy in the kinds of reports on r g. c. in india.
